In the 1930s, a Pareto vogue in economics and in sociology emerged in the English-speaking world. In Italy, however, the Paretian episode was already well established by the early 1900s. Moreover, the character of the episode in Italy was quite different to that in other parts of the world: Pareto's influence was much more immediate, more extensive and more enduring, with many Italian economists investigating the relationship between economics and sociology based on Pareto's contributions. Perhaps the most distinctly Paretian contributions of this school were in the area of fiscal though. This study of the Paretian school and its 'fiscal sociology' is complemented by the inclusion of newly translated Paretian articles, by Gino Borgatta, Mauro Fasiani, Benvenuto Griziotti, Roberto Murray, Vilfredo Pareto and Guido Sensini, which were originally published in Italian in the Giornale degli Economisti between 1915 and 1949.
